While planning this weeks meal plan I wanted a new idea for chicken. I could have swore my cousin Foo had one on her blog. Instead I found one on her Pintrest board called Grilled Ginger Sesame Chicken Salad. I really only liked the chicken recipe. So I took it and made it with some rice.

I wasn't able to find all the ingredients at our no frills type grocery store. I'm going have to plan ever further ahead to try new recipes so I have the chance to go to a store with a wider selection.

The items with strike through I didn't have or didn't use.

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

3 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped

3 tablespoons canola oil

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 teaspoons sriracha

1 teaspoon salt

2 chicken breasts

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup scallions, minced

I put it in a ziplock bag with 5 breasts in the fridge for a couple hours. When on the grill it turned out like this:

My wife liked it and so did my toddler (though it was heavily dipped in BBQ sauce). I'm certainly going to make this again. Next time I will get the sesame oil or use sesame seeds, score the breasts before putting them in the bag, and of course let it marinade for longer (like overnight).
